1965 Chevrolet Pick Up Truck Orig. V8 1/2 Ton Long Bed Shop, Work Truck

1965 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Long Bed. (Please read entire description and check all pictures before bidding.) This truck looks to be very original except for the tail gate. It should make somebody a very good shop or work truck. Or restore. Comes with clear California Title and is on Non Op and has original black Ca. license plates.. Ranch Fresh California truck.. It was used around the ranch for years and to town once in a while. Last licensed 2016. It has V8 engine and original 3 speed tranny on the tree and very good tires. It starts right up and runs and drives very good. The engine is very solid and quiet and purrs like a kitten, with good oil pressure, but smokes quite a bit sometimes when started. (Probably valve lifter seals.?) Steering is very smooth and tight. All glass is good. Good brakes. Looks to be original paint, but has some rust issues on right front drip rail on cab and left rocker panel, as shown in pictures, otherwise the cab is very straight and tight with good solid floor boards. The doors fit and close like a refrigerator, nice and tight. Has some bumps and bruises and dents here and there, but still pretty presentable. The exhaust system is very quiet and solid and don't look very old.. Please check all pictures as they are part of the description.
